Tonight was our Parent-Teacher Conference. We were pretty nervous going in (especially because Wm has had some behavior issues the past couple days). But it went really well!! Mrs. Couch said she wants to keep Wm challenged, so she has moved him on to first grade readers and his reading group book this week is an E Level reader. Wm read it with ease. I will not be surprised if Wm has surpassed first grade reading level before he even starts first grade! The same goes with math. Mrs. Couch said Wm is actually at the point of understanding the principles of multiplication. She gave us some ideas to work with Wm to engage his interest and learning in math since he seems to like it so much. It's online games, so he will probably also enjoy it!!
The things Wm needs to work on are neatness (his writing and assignments are hurried and sloppy as he rushes to complete them and move on to the next thing) and "respecting others." Apparently his wiggles are not a problem, but he moves into other people's space and then becomes a disruption. So Mrs. Couch told us to encourage Wm to keep his body in his space and respect other peoples' space. That bit is easier said that done!! But we'll try!
Overall, Wm seems to be doing very well! We feel much relieved after going in for the conference. Thank goodness Mrs. Couch is no Meanie!!
We got to bring home the timeline Wm made of his life. It was done before he was writing himself, so it is as dictated by Wm to me (you can click it to enlarge it so you can read it...maybe):
